Which radars cover Londonderry?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KENX (Albany, NY), about 78 miles southwest. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.
| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Londonderry | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KENX Albany, NY | 78 mi southwest | 6,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 90 mi north-northwest | 8,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBOX Boston, MA | 122 mi southeast | 13,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
